I made an appt with my dealer to install SE203 cams in my '06 SG. The service manager recommended going with the SE211 cams for a bigger performance improvement. What does everyone think? I currently have SE air intake, Rinehart tru-duals, and download.

 

i agree with the manager.

 

211's with a 4 degree advance maybe. The 203's are a waist of money. I have had the 204's with stock compression and SE heads and like them.

 

211's, I don't know about that, I'm not sure how the bottom end will be, if your not doing a big bore kit I would say 203, if your doing a big bore you might go with 211's, I have 203's in my EG and I love the way the bike runs and pull's, heck, just a little while ago I couldn't help myself, took off and turned her up yo 6000 rpm's in first,2nd,3rd,4th, then I looked at the speedo and ,yea, a little over a 100 mph, I guess I'd better slow down, but back to the subject at hand, 203's seem ok to me.

 

a guy in our hog group has a FXST with a set of 211 cams, all I know about his build is its a 95 ci and has about 10:1 comp , he said that it runs great, pulls well from 2,000 rpm and hit 95hp on the dyno. Although he's had problems with starting it even with a high torque starter.

 

Or maybe I should go with the Andrews 37G cams?

 

My freind put them in his fatboy and it dynoed 79 hp and 80 tq, I out ran him. [sm=biker.gif]

 

The 203's come with the SE big bore kit, I asked at the time of the install about the other drop in cams (204's), but was led to believe the 203's where the best match up for stock heads and 95".
I still haven't wound my girl up yet...........still waiting for the 1000 mile mark

 

I wouldn't go with the 37's unless you are going to do headwork. I had 37's in a Superglide, 88", no headwork and it ruined it. Lost my bottom end and picked up a little on top end. Big mistake to put them on a dresser in my opinion.

 

If I were going to open it up I would go with gear driven. As far as to tell you which one I'll leave that to those that seem to know. From what I have read it seems to me the 26G would be a good choice.
I currently have the 203's with the big bore kit.( no head work) I think mine runs real strong and have been pleased with fuel economyand every other aspects. Are there better builds? I am sure there are but this has been my experience.
I do wish I had the gear driven cams with reports of cam tensioner failures but I've made it to 40,000 miles without any problems. I cut open my last filter and found no signs of failure, YET!


GOOD LUCK!
